Next thing to do is update DirectX9.0c to the October 2006 version, HERE: http://www.filehippo.com/download_directx/

When you have done that, click Start > Run... type in
dxdiag
click OK. On the "Sound" tab, move the slider to the left for 'no hardware acceleration'.

Then, make sure that you do a FULL install of TR:AOD. I can understand you have problems with the game, because you don't seem to have it installed at all. Same goes for Legend: you don't have it installed.

If you then still have the same problem with TR:AOD, check which version of the game you have. Original unpatched version is Build 39.
The later released pre-patched version is called Build 52.
Check that simply on the game's main page. The follwing picture is my original version, patched with patch v.42 and v.49:

You will find these patches HERE: http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/tng/updates.html

You can ignore patch v.52 because that has no valuable function at all. Patch 42 and 49 are absolutely needed.
If your version already says Build 52 of course you don't have to do anything but reporting that here, then we will look at your settings.

Select All then Copy and paste the text in Notepad into a reply on the forum.

This may the problem. It looks like the program was trying to read either the graphic card settings or the Game graphic settings. It is possible that it is trying to read corrupted entries in the registry or ini files etc.
